Your guide to Clearing

Hello, my name is Peace and I applied through clearing at Middlesex and I was also a clearing advisor.

I am here to give you my top tips on applying through clearing to make it a really positive experience.

So applying through clearing was a last-minute decision for me. I previously chose energy engineering because I thought I was sure about what I wanted to do.

But then I changed my mind to marketing because I got more into social media and I just wanted to work in that industry in the future.

Before I made the first call with the clearing advisor, I was very unsure and I didn't know what to expect.

But once I called them, they were like very friendly and they made it simple and they knew exactly what they were doing by asking me the right questions, and that just made me feel like very secure in my choice.

There are lots of reasons why people might want to apply through clearing, for instance, if you didn't get the right grade, if you were not sure about starting this year, but now you're thinking of starting this year, or if you're just like me and you change your mind, clearing is also for you.

So my top tips for someone who wants to apply through clearing are: have your exam results ready, be prepared to talk about your experience and why you want to study that chosen course.

Lastly, make sure you have a positive attitude and have positive things to say about yourself.

Once you get in touch with the clearing advice team at Middlesex, you will have a lot of personal advice about your different options, support on finalizing your application, and remember, there's no pressure, we want you to make the right decision for you and your future.

Clearing opens in July and closes in October, so as soon as you get your exam results, don't hesitate and apply as soon as possible, and you can apply through calling us, messaging us via live chat on the website, or through WhatsApp.
